Could you have a faulty unit or perhaps it needs a hard reset?

Maybe the SP3000 just isn't for you :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Amazing - thank you!

Ah - perfect!! I don't use amazon so didn't check! Thank you!!

Completely agree on the build quality - solid. The reason I asked is that I'm in Vancouver and im struggling to find a screen protector without having to import it! So thought I could chance it without if the screen was some sort of scratch resistant material. Looks like I'll bite the bullet...

Yes me too. I think if it was either Sapphire Crystal or Gorilla Glass A&K would market it as such, I suspect its plain glass, for the price I would expect Gorilla Glass at a bare minimum.

Does anybody know what the screen type is on the SP3000, is it Sapphire Crystal, Gorilla Glass or just regular glass?

AA Composer might be worth a look, and it doesn't break the bank compared to the Utopia. Steering towards closed back option TBH, as I currently don't have one in my arsenal, I've considered ZMF AC and DCA Stealth, but don't think they will be suitable when I want to use with SP3000 alone and...

Yeah, I'm looking into the Utopia as I type this!

I'm much more a headphones fan vs IEM ... What are the best pairing headphones that you use with your A&K? I have Audeze LCD-5 and Sennheiser HD800s, so not the best pairings with the SP3000 due to power restrictions. So it would be really good to here this groups suggestions and thoughts...

Yes I could, but its another box when I am ultimately trying to get to a one box solution. I'm surprised Naim did not make the unit 115-230V. I have a Linn DSM Selekt and I can easily use it across both 115V and 230V by just changing the power chord.

Perfect, thank you for the head ups. Any downgrade in sound noticed at all? I was also looking at Audioquest options!!

Thanks for the replies folks. Today I realized that the Atom HE is fixed voltage. I live between the USA and UK so a unit that does allow for 115-230V wont work for me. This kind of pushes me towards the Element X2 which offers this feature. I could use a transformer, but that kind of defeats...

Hello folks. I am considering purchasing an A&K SP3000 and I have a question that I hope somebody here can help me with. I have a Enleum AMP-23r, can anybody answer if it's possible to connect the SP3000 to the AMP-23r via 3.5mm to RCA and use it as a Dac and streamer?

Interesting… I didn’t think of doing that. I’m trying to reduce ‘hassle’. At the moment I’m using my computer as the Roon Core, I’m going to purchase a Roon One and was hoping I could just get everything I need (dac / HP amp / Roon streamer) in an all in one box solution - Element X2 or Atom HE...

I have budget for the Matrix or the Atom HE. I'm currently own Chord Hugo2+2go. Mostly use Qobuz, Tidal and Apple Music via Roon for listening. Headphones - HD650 / H800s / LCD-1 / LCD-5 / LCD-MX / Stellia and currently considering a pair of Diana MR's

Hello everybody, I'm thinking of purchasing an AIO solution for my work space. Has anybody compared the Matrix Element X2 with the Atom HE, it would be great if anybody could advise as I'm finding it impossible trying to demo either unit here in Vancouver!
